ll2 MURDERS COMMITTED
IN EDGEFIELD COUNTY, SOUTH
CAROLINA,
In the Last Thirteen Years, end Very
Few Convictions Prominent
Lynchers Being Tried.

CHARLESTON, S. O, March 15.-The
Court Of Sessions or Criminal Court of
Edgefield county is now sitting in
Edgefield, and the docket is loaded
with cases, most Of which are for
ofenses against the person. During
the past week s. D. Zimmerman, who
some mouths ago shot and killed
negro boy II years OF sgs in spirit Of
malicious mischief, was declared "Not
guilty." and was set free. Robert 4.
Jones, an artist in murder, having
killed three men in one day, and all
relatives, has just been found guilty
of mspslsughter, the jury having given
what they termed compromise YER
dict" Jones shot two brothers-in-law
and his father in-law, sll named Press
ley. In one case the jury disagreed,
and now he escapes the gsllows by thu
above verdict. The cause celebre
is, however, the Culbreath lynching
caser which began yesterday morning.
Thirty-one men ara accused OF the
murder of o. 7. Culbreath on Sep.
TENDER 81, 1885. These men, when
arraigned on November l, 1885, all
frat pleaded "not guilty." and on the
10th OF that month were admitted to
bail for appearance at the next term
of court. 1t was then thought they
would never be brought to trial. On
the night OF September 14th one W. II.
Hammond, a relative OF several OF the
accused, was killed in the yard Of Mrs.
o. 7. Gu breath's house. Culbreath,
who had treated his wife 80 cruelly
that she had separated from him, was
arrested, as he had charged Hammond
with undue familiarity with his wife
and threatened to kill him. On Sep.
TENDER 2lst, while in the law flee Of
Gray Evans at Edgeield awaiting the
preparation OF bail bond, two mas ed
men entered the Office and dragged
him into the street. There the mob
took possession Of him, riddled his
body with bullets and left him for
dead. He fingered, however, un.
til next morning, when he
made an ante-mortem statement,
positively identifying VIM. Parkham
and Wyatt Holmes, as two of his MUIR
derers. Many OF the defendants are
representatives of the best families in
'ilO OthtOs ahOuR lhSA using OLat6
Senator Talbert. Oae of them is a
prominent physician, another is the
brother of Mrs. Culbreath, who mar.
ried sister OF the murdered man.
Half OF those charged with this crime
are married, and have upward OF 100 |
children between them. Some of them
are whits hsiIed aud have grand
children, and some are still in their
teens. The trial of the lynchers has
been postponed for one reason or an
other until the present time, and there
is no likelihood that they will be con-
victed, although the State is making a
strong effort to secure the punishment
of the murderers. Attorney General
Earle secured severance of the cases
yesterday, and the trial of two of the
lynchers was begun. During the last
thirteen years there have been liz
murders committed in the county. |

$4,000 LOST 3Y FIRE
In Buffalo, n. Y.-EnIfrely Covered
by Insurance.

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 15.-At 1925
o'clock this morning fire broke out in
the second story of the large brick
building OF Miller, Greiner & Co., cor
ner of Washington and North Di-
vision streets. The fire was probably
caused by hot coa's dropping on the
floor. The fra spread with great
rapidity, and soon the entire building
was ablazs and was doomed TO destruc-
ton. Within half an hour after the
fire broke out the walls began to fall.
1hs building, with its contents, is q
total loss. The loss on the building is
100000, on stock, $3.50, 900; insurance
heavy. The upper floors Of the build
ing we're occupied as Masonic hall,
which is also total loss. The insur.
ance is at present unknown. By 10
o'clock all danger of the fire spread
ing was past. 1! is reported that two
or three firemen are buried in the
ruins.
The los to Miller, Gre'ner & Co.,
wholesale grocers,is estimated at $780,
600 on the building and $4,000 on
stock. The insurance will amount
to $l35,oO0. 1t is impossible for the
firm to get at their books and papers
at present The less By the destruc.
ton OF Masonic Hall is about $35, 900;
insurance, $25, 1000. All the Masonic
lodges and other bodies met at this
hall except two, and lis destruction is
keenly felt EN- ong the members OF the
order. The hall was burned out at the
time OF the Commercial fire on Decem-
Der 81, 1882, and most OF the appoint
ments were entirely new. The dam.
age to the Commercial building by to-
days fire was not serious, and, though
the editorial and composing rooms
were filed with smoke and consider
ably wet down, the paper issued its
first edition at noon as usual. The
reported injury to fremen is uu-
founded.

Pepper Adulterations.

F. DR.. Campbell Brown. the public ana
lyst of Liverpool, recently gave evi-
dence in some cases Of pepper adulter-
alton. In one case the pepper which he
had examined contained upwards of 65
per cent. Of rice and per cent. of q
hard ligneous tissue resembling ground
olive stones. He explained that this
worthless substance was imported into
England under the name of poivrette,
or pepperette for the purpose Of in
creasing the weight and bulk Of pep
per. He had much difficulty in ascer-
tanning the exact nature of this COM
pound, which is advertised in circulars
sent from Italy to English pepper mer-
chants. 1t seems to consist of some
kind Of ground fruit-stones or nut
shells, but ground olive stones seem to
produce q substance most like it. The
price Of this rubbish is one penny a
pound, or less than one-twelfth the
price of pepper.-M Y. Post.

What Sort Of a Man?

What sort of man is he who can al
low himself to be ruined by drinkp
Does he love his wife? Can he love his
children. and SO far forget them rs to
put the well-known devil in his mouth
that will certainly steal away his
brains. and steal away his heart, too,
putting in its place such heart Of stone
as will permit him to 60 home and be
u bear in his own household? Nay,
there is no beast of the earth that
should be disgraced with the compare
son of what he may become, when in
toxicatcd, within his own family circle
What sort of man is he? Surely he
must be vile, he must be wicked, he
must be worthlcssly weak in tho begin
ming, or he would not knowingly have
any thing to do with the intoxicating
beverage that would so transform him
into demon. That is another view,
showing clearly that the evil is altogeth-
er in the man. But, friends, have it as
you will, think of it in whichever or
whatever way Your pleasure or your
habit is to think; my word is spoken
to-day against the saloon rs an Ameri-
can institution, with this practical pur-
poses in view-namely, that wherever
the evil really is the saloon in our
country and time is the place to fight
it.-Rev. Davtd NJ Utter.

cow.Pox AND SMALLPOX.
Recent Experlmsnts Showing That the
Two Diseases Are Not Identical.

Recent Experlmsnts Showing That the
Two Diseases Arc Not Identical.
George Fleming, LII. D., principal
veterinary surgeon of the British army,
regards as untrue the generally ac-
cepted theory that smallpox in
man, and cOw-pox, are one and the
same disease. One of the best authori-
ties quoted in support of the theory
was the late Mr.. Ceely, who reported
that he had succeeded in producing cow
pOx by inOculating cow with small
pox matter. DR.. Fleming believes that
Mr.. Ceely was misled in this expert
inent. and that what he really used was
vaccine, and not the virus of smallpox.
His experiment was subsequently re-
peated on twelve heifers by DR.. Klein
under Mr.. Cecly's supervision, and.
though smallpox matter was inserted
abundantly into the incisions. cow-pox
was not developed in any Of the animals.
Similar experiments have been per.
formed in France and Italy, and the re-
suits have all been the same as those in
Englsnd. DIR. Fleming holds that all
these experiments 60 to show that the
two diseases are not identical. nor can
cow-pox be produced by incubation
With small pox virus. --Scis';ce.

The greatest discovery of the age
was made in the Bad Lands the other
morning. Two hunters who have been
camping in that region for several
weeks were awakened by terrific
shock and a roar that sounded like the
rush of q mighty torrent. Running out
of their camp they saw a stream of fire
over one hundred feet in height shoot
ing into the atmosphere. This immense
blaze poured through the crust of earth
for over an hour, when it ceased. In
about five minutes after the cessation
another eruption took place, the flame
being about thirty feet high, but this
was followed in about ten minutes by
another blaze nearly as high as the
tirst.-Boseman IN. IT, Courier.

How to Clean Engravings.

Put the engraving on smooth board,
cover it thinly with common salt finely
powdered. Squeeze lemon-juice upon
the salt SO as to dissolve a considerable
portion of it. Elevate the board so that
it may form an angle of about forty-five
degrees with the horizon. Pour on the
engraving boiling water from a tea
kettle until the salt and lemon-juice be
washed off; the engraving will then be
perfectly clean and free from stains.
1t must be dried on the board, or on
some smooth surface gradually, not by
the fire or sun, or it will be tingcd with
yellow color.-S Scientific american.

Another straw, showing how the
wind IL blowing In reference to Tenn
perance, is the report Of the commis-
sion appointed by the French academy
of medicine ON the public danger from
the use of alcohol. IL urges the Gov
ernment to take the strongest measures
to prevent the entry Of artiheisliy
alcOhOlized wines into France. 1t Also
calls for a large reduction Of the num-
ber Of taverns and wine shops, and for
the strict enforcement of the laws for
repression Of drunkenness. This report,
apart from its official and representa-
tive character, is the more significant
because 1t comes from France. one OF
the very countries where. as we are told
80 often. there Is next to no drunken
ness because of the general use Of light
wines instead Of spirita 1t seems to be
true that within ! few years the usc Of
spirits has increased greatly among tbs
French and the usual consequences arc
apparent. C0ngregaticsss'ist.

THE CARE OF HOGS.

Health and Growth of Pigs Dependent Upon
tho Prevention of Indigestion.
There is no animal on the farm more
likely to be neglected than the hog, and
yet in many sections of the West he is
one of the many sources of income. On
this account it is important that he
should have better care, which would,
in many cases, prevent the heavy losses
that occur from disease. Swine
breeders do not, as rule, consider that
the hog is, by nature, an eater of green
food. and dependent in great measure
on grazing.
The villager knows how eager the pigs
shut up in the pen during the whole
year are for the grass and weeds from
the garden near ut hand; and partly
because he wants to get rid of his weeds,
and partly because he thinks the pigs
will like a little green stuff, he throws
the refuse to them. He does not reflect
that green food is the natural susten-
ance of the hog, as it is of the COW,
while by feeding on corn alone, he is
keeping the pigs under an artificial
state.
The question is, how best to supply
the hog with food that will most nearly
answer in the place of pasture grass,
for the natural instinct for green and
soft food should be gratifed through
whatever material may be at hand.
Health and growth during the sum-
mer may depend largely upon the sue
cess in preventing indigestion, and the
morbid state of the blood which comes
of this. If no vegetables can be spared
for this purpose, it will pay to buy
them, not on account of the mere nutri-
ment contained, but for the dietetic and
sanitary reasons mentioned above
Coal ashes, charred coal, and charcoal
from wood, should be within reach at
all times. In general way, and by
the use of divers suitable agencies, the
bowels should be kept in condition
the opposite Of being constipated, that
the blood may be neither improved nor
charged with unhealthy secretions. By
acting with discretion in the manner
pointed out, and protecting them from
inclement weather at the same time,
thrift during the entire season is likely
to be the rcsult.-National LiOe- St0ck

Meal will fatten old sheep better
than whole grain, as they can not mas
ticate the grain we'll with their poor
teeth. Sheep dislike to eat meal, as it
flies up into their nostrils. This trouble
can easily be remedied by wetting il
slightly, or, what is better, cut the hay,
wet it and sprinkle the meal over it.

1t is said small lath loosely sus.
pended ABOUT eighteen inches above the
perch of the rooster will prevent him
from growing at unreasonable hours.
The lath will not interfere with the
birds roosting, but the moment he
stretches his neck to crow his head will
come in contact with the lath and he
will desist.- Chicago Journal.
The Spanish method of making
paste for pies is as follows: Put two
pounds of sifted white -four into bowl,
cut in it half a pound of lard and -four
spoons butter, six beaten eggs, hall
pound white sugar. Knead this long
time until well mixed. If the paste il
too soft to knead, add sufficient -four to
handle. 1t is said to be excellent.
Very few animals are as dainty and
choice about their food rs the sheep
says contemporary. At times they
will leave handful of feed in the
trough when a close inspection may
not discover any thing wrong with the
grain; but the sheep have found some
thing in or about it not suitable to theil
taste, and so it is left. It is generally
true that what one sheep refuses none
of the flock can be induced to eat

TEMPERANCE READING.
TvRANT ALCOHOL.


Beneath our free flags swelling folds
A heartless tyrant reiens,
Who loves TO torture captive souls,
And bind With CALLING chains.
In dram.shop vile and grand saloon,
Behind gllt-hiding screen,
As smiling host and low bufioon,
His agents may be seen.
They watch with eagerness intense,
And lie in wait for men,
Like tigers in o Jungle dense,
And serpents in fen.
His poisoned weapon in their hands,
More cruel deeds have done
Than scalpng-knives in savage lands,
War clubs, or deadly gun.
All through this land are smitten men,
Who stagger in the streets,
Lie bruised in foul fiend-haunted den,
And loathsome dark retreats.
II into fair account we take
His victims seen and hi6,
Their blood would make q crimson Like,
Their bones pyramid!
o, that his cruelties in naught
But murder we might find.
His most satanic work is wrought
In ruined heart and mind.
We see his baleful influence blight
The brightest hopes Of earth;
And like plague, behold him smite
Great genius, fortune, worth.
Dear homes, where light of love ana peace
Like summer morning shone,
He enters-toy and comfort cease,
The loving hearts are stone.
His agents law and right defy,
In tainted purses keep
Base bribes, and into stations high
BY foul corruption creep;
In courts and Legislatures hide,
And ply their wicked trade,
That justice may be turned aside,
And laws unequal made.
1t is no ghost political,
No shadowy fear. see;
A despot is King Alcohol,
And foe to you and me-
To oil who hate the false and wrong,
Who love the right and true;
Hence, one should be our battle song,
And one our banner, too.

We shall to victory go.
And hurl crushing avalanche
Upon our common foe.
